This CLE webinar will provide guidance to counsel for healthcare facilities and physicians on the legal implications of co-management arrangements. The panel will review applicable laws, regulations and fair market value considerations to structure the arrangements to meet compliance requirements.

Description

Healthcare providers are facing pressure to improve patient care and marketplace competition. Co-management arrangements offer an opportunity to improve the quality and efficiency of medical care by providers.

In co-management arrangements, an incentive-based compensation model, physicians work collaboratively with hospital executives to assist in managing a hospital department or service line. Under these arrangements, the healthcare system and the physicians have vested interests, responsibilities and accountability. When entering into such arrangements, counsel to healthcare systems and physicians must take care to avoid violating various federal and state statutes, including anti-kickback laws, the Stark law and state self-referral statutes and the federal civil monetary penalty statute.

Listen as our authoritative panel of two healthcare attorneys and one valuation expert examine co-management arrangements and the key legal and regulatory concerns, fair market value considerations, and structural guidance. The panel will also offer insight into these arrangements from the hospitals’ and physicians’ perspectives.
